madmanluke Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 lol, no it wont shady, infact it will be slower as it has less rpm but then u can gear it down to some thing like 20/47 and would give u around 60ish with a three speed. the k4.6 ho may look good, but its more geared to rpm and not torque, may loose a little low end on it daz.

shady45 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 cool so what's the best gearing for a k4.6 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 sound suprised shady? another none believer? I forgive u child "HE CAN WALK!" debatable depends on what yer gearing for? speed/accel, offroad/onroad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitromotorhead Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 cool so what's the best gearing for a k4.6 ? Depends on what you want to do? And how you set up ya 3 speed. Iv tried 17/47 19/47 and 20/47 For off road I think 19/47 is the limit Im going to try 18/47 next, then try different spurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanluke Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 18/47 is the optimum gearing. lots of low end, loads and loads and loads and loads and loads............. of top end. its a great gearing as it gets the best of both worlds.

madmanluke Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 17 gives too much bottom end, bet it wheelies pretty easy dazz? 18 will be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revorussell Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 thats what i use 18 it seem's to be just right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 17 gives too much bottom end, bet it wheelies pretty easy dazz? 18 will be better its all about the trigger finger lukus must admit I miss being able to floor it, wen I do now its up on its ass,ripping thru the gears on the wheelie bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanluke Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 aye, have to have a fairly well trained finger to keep it down when eccelerating as fast as you can. 18 will calm the wheelies down a lot. go for an 18tooth vented bell off the bay. tis only about a tenner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 will it still wheelie tho? cos i kinda like em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzi220 Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 did the tank guard fit directly? where u get it? i had to cut a hole in the bottom of mine for the 4.6 tank,theres a bit of plastic on the bottom of the tank (right) but the hole for it on my guard was on the left (like the tank with the primer button) anyway after 3 hours I got the hole big enuff so it'd fit then wrecked the tank guard on the 1st run! pmal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanluke Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 just ran three speed in garden. i love it to pieces. bottom end is sooo goooddd. running 18/47 with a mid tank so all the wieght on front now, extended lcg tvp's and no shock spacers, and i rekon if i tune my low end enough il get it to wheelie. one thing i noticed is that it whines a bit? sounds good but can never be too sure with gear when they whine. usualy means not enough greese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 dunno, mine was pre built and had no grease really just covered in stuff that resembles wd40 its fine tho what did u do with the shift points? btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanluke Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 only what u said. half a turn back from first to 2nd. seems to be just about right. and left the other one stock. il tune that when i get to a bigger area. do u not notice the box whining then? may need a little "break in" ass such to round the teeth of a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 u mean like a high pitched sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanluke Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 cnt realy escribe it, as u ecelerate away it sounds like it whines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 dunno what that is, doubt it cause a problem tho,as long as its workin and the cogs are running off each other properly it'll be ok. might jus need settling in abit, mine used to be high pitched. what grease did u get with it? stuff like u put on the diffs or just oil typre stuff. When I opened my pre assemble box there was no grease, jus the cogs were oily a bit. get fine tuning! right down to the milimeter on the needles, that 3 speed can really rip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanluke Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 u dont use any greece with it. never use greece with the speed box. itl get into the clutches and they wont work. it sounds like a diff running on no greese or oil. whining. my engine is finely tuned thank u very much i only had it tuned to two speed box though, so need to lean it a little more on both top and loower. need to be in a carpark for that tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
